We recognise the strength and resilience of First Nations peoples, who maintain a continuing connection to these beautiful lands and waters – a right and responsibility that was stolen from them and never ceded. We acknowledge the traditional caretakers of each of the nations throughout Australia, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
